I found this glorious squid ink spaghetti at the grocery store, and I needed to have it. There was something that drew me in to the velvety black spaghetti spears, and I knew I needed to find a recipe for them.

With Halloween around the corner, I thought making black pasta and cheese would be eerily appropriate. The natural squid ink gives the pasta it’s luscious black colour, and the cheese makes it look extra weird. I didn’t find the pasta tasted any different, but I must warn you– the initial smell while the noodles were cooking was a little off-putting (very ocean-y).

Any how.. if you are looking for a dish that will get people talking, this one will raise some questions. If the black spaghetti isn’t your thing… substitute with any pasta (elbow, perhaps?)
